I have been really bad lately. My diet is poor and I've not exercised in over a week, I think. I need to lose 17 lbs for surgery and I don't think I've lost one lb yet and this process started at the end of July. Tonight I'm going grocery shopping for the week and I'm going to get my protein drinks also. I plan on starting my 1500 cal diet that my NUT gave me, tomorrow and start walking again. I was doing so good but then just quit like I always do when I lose a little. Please help me get this started and to stick with it so I can have surgery. I need someone to tell me to knock it off and get busy!! Although my mom and husband are good at that I just don't listen when they get on me. I wish I had someone close by to exercise and diet with!! Please help!!!

I was on pinterest last night and found a bunch of boards and people that have gastric bypass meals. If you do a search for it they all come up. Tons of ideas!

Thanks so much for the replies!! I'm glad to be here and doing lots of research and looking for asuch info as I can possibly get. Thanks for the support. I will do the best I can.

Welcome! Everyone here is so nice and there are people from phase (just thinking to several years out!).
Try not to beat yourself up too much over the diet. It is very important but don't defeat yourself if you slip a little. Just get on track ASAP!
This preop phase seems like its long but it goes so quick. And the best thing about the app? It's always 'open'!
